GRAY'S PATENT 141..
Have now been before the public for nearly a year.
They are universally pronounced the neatest and best
fitting collars extant.
The upper edge presents a perfect cure, free from the
angles noticed in all other collars.
The cravat causes no puckers on the inside of the turn
down collar—they are AS SMOOTH INSIDE AS OUT-.
SlDE—and therefore perfectly free and easy to the neck.
The Garotte Collar has a smooch and evenly-finished
edge on BOTH SIDES.
These Collars are not simply flat pieces of paper cut
in the form of a collar, but are MOULDED AND SHAPED
TO TIT ME ZTEGK.
They are made in "Novelty" (or turn-down style,)
in every half size from 12 to 17 inches, and•in "Eu
reka" (or Garotte,) from 13 to 17 inches, and packed in
' , solid sizes, 21 in neat blue cartoons, containgloo each;
also, in smaller ones of 10 each—the latter averyhandy
package for Travellers, Army and Navy Officers.

Academy or the Vine Arts
Of some of our artists svo have reason to complain
-L-of the good one's! especially. Why is it Pas L Mr.
Sully, for example, Is not better represented? It
would be ineorreatly supposed that he, the best: of
our portrait painters_ had been idle daring the year,
fruits the very few pictures he exhibits. But Mr.
Sully has not only been industrious, but has had
need of all his industry to fill the orders which he
has received. This we know. But where, then, are
the pictures e respectfully submit that all artist
who possesses the power of Mr. Sully has no right
to be indifferent to its exhibition. Truly, the usual
4 ‘ portrait of a gentleman is not CO tine that we elm
afford to do without Mr. Sully's help, If there were
another sadist as good as he in his own department,
then we might be content ; but there is none who
&pulls him, le old aa-e be paints frith -et beauty
aad correctness that lie has at no period SitrpaProd
there is still the undefinable grace, the delicious co
.
Mr, the unobtrusive vigor, subdued by ft too sensi
tive refinement, which years ago plitecil him by the
side of the 1. rot painters of the age. The jealous icS
of artists ate proverbial, lint we think Mr. Sully's
reputation is above dispute. It was *wen heihre
moor of its wem born, and has been uninterruptedly
maintained by the strength of a genius winch does
not grow old, but is as bright and beautiful to-dity
aawhen that great portrait of George Frederick
Cookesomething more than a portrait ; being one
of the finest of Shakspearean illustrations—first de
lighted the world of art. That Mr. Sully will paint
another picture so great, we doubt; but that he is
new productuE, -- works which, in certain qualities,
are absolutely unrivaled, we Rnow. It is to simple
portraiture that he seems to be now wholly devoted,
and of his .Fisece: , .s. the charming portrait of a lady
end child, —, atm that or a young nuns, NO.—,
sufficiently speak. Yet these do not appear to be
the extraordinary a chic vementS of the artist, but are
little superior to the average merit of hit produc
tions. Why, then, should Mr. Sully, with so many
fine portraits, fresh - from his easel, send but one or
two to the exhibition? If lie fancies that the public
is so familiar with his style that it is - weary of it, lie
should'be frankly tOld that we shall not beHrod
studying' and admiring, pictures so beautiful till
lie is tired of making them. Surely if they are
worth painting they are worth exhibition, and
surely there can be no good reason why Mr. Sully
should not have had ten new works on the wUlls
this spring instead of
It is easy to eulogize but difficult to explain the
beautiful, and yet all fine things are finer when they
are analy26l. - for then they are better understood.
-To analyze pictorial' art is especially difficult, be
cause of its arbitrary terminokary and because so
Many persons, who intelligently admire a beautiful
effect; lack the knowledge essential to appreeiation
of the' - method of its production. Even artists, in
speaking of great pictures, generally fail to show
Why they are great. We - are told that a landscape
is fine because the foreground is so bold, the aerial
perspective so delicate in its gradations, the color so
superb, the form so noble. But further analysii must
he technical, and, therefore, to thOmany, incompre
hensible. Breadth, and depth, and tone, and simi
lar words, are generallyvague evasions. The best of
critics deals in generalities., and even Ruskin, who
is almost unrivalled in the power of translating a
picture into words, is usually content with deserip
don. Even Poe, who could analyze the soul of a
flea, made but a poor attempt to explain the eon
ktillelion of "The.liaven." With these precedents
we may be pardoned for leaving the beautiful to lie
its own interpreter, and Mr. Sully has but one fault:
he is too - Mild of beauty. There's in seam of his pie
tom, an mess of scrAtivencss, an extreme of grace,
a refinement which is almost languid. Ho will make
the ugly woman - beautiful, the beautifid :roman an
gellc. Oliver cromwell,who told his pa inter to put MS
lace on canvas, carbuncles and]all, might htri, - e found
Mr. Stilly rebellious. But, this fault has the corre
sponding virtue to counterbalanceit : Mr. Sully
does not sacrifice the characteristic to the beautiful,
though, like Lawrence, lie is too fond of improving
the feature. , of ins sitters. Finer likenesses no artist
produces. He excels in bringing out the spirit of a
face, and the more impressive the countenance the
better the portrait.
Mr. Schussele is yet more to blame. We cannot
understand why an artist who is not only great but
popular should content himself 'with obscurity.
We do not mean that an artist is necasSarily
ob
scnre Who fails to hare his pictures in the Academy,
but that Mr.SelMssele has of late failed to e. - xhibit
at all. Last y - ear we believe he had not one plettli'e
in the exhibition, and tliislaeficiency SeriouSly inter
fered with its value as a representative collection.
There arc sonic half a- dozen men who are now idea
tilled with the artistic reputation of Philadelphia,
and upon whom we depend for works which shall
justify the claim we make to art-equality with
other eine% Even among these Mr. Schusseie is
not the least distinguished.. In historical painting
we think he has but one rival, and no superior ; but,
without entering into comparison, it is enough that
beds - a - true artist original, intelligent, conscion
lioll6, :, , trontr, He never paints a weak Piefttre
Diner one that is careless. This is much, but it is
not all. Mr. SchusSele has the power to appreciate
great slime tionS, and to express theta in appropriate
forms. In that noble Painting of a Moravian
preaching to the Indians, which must be well
remembered, though it was exhibited two years ago,
lie caught tlie very spirit of the subject and the
Steno, 1 We are sorry that the solitary picture ho
has sent to the Academy this year did not afford
equal opportunity. We give to such pictures as
that of "Scott and his Companions;" "Iriing and
-his Friends," and his group of Americanlnventors,
a decidedly second or third-rate rank. It would lie
impossible for a Titian or a linbens to give them a
higher -position ; and, indeed, the better the artist
may be, the more unworthy is such a E.mbiect for ids
genius. When we look at this very well-painted
canvas, we feel that Mr. Sehussele has put his
Pegasus in
_harness. The real genus of the man
seems hampered by his work. There is no unity in'
the idea : nothing nothin more than a collection of pot* ,
,
traits ol.characteristic and commonplace faces and
figures; and from very nature of the thing it is
impossible to Make it anything but a collection. We
admire the effort the artist has made to concentrate
the interest of the group upon Professor Morse's
explanation of hiS instrument, and think it success
ful to n cc dain lcons over earnestly;
10010 intent ; lint, .if there ever : was a man
tile - stood up for his portrait, Mr. -- is that
man. Mt Sehussele we suppos.e painted from a pho
tograph, and could not obliterate the traces of the
Stiffness and self-conseiouness which are almost
universally found in photographs. In a less de
gree the same stiffness is, found in the MajoHty of
- • -
the figures; somc of these unfortunate inventors
look very - much bored, and others have the appear
awe of mon who doubt whether their patents will
be - renewed. Is this Mr. Schussele's fault? We
think not. . In fact, he has - succeeded unusually
well in eonccmtrating the little intrinsic interest
the subject possenes, and in foreing into a - harnao-
Mous Whole elements that struggle to fly apart.
Solitude is the natural element of- a portrait, and
twenty.portraits on one minims are necessarily
twenty rivals and twenty centres of interest.
-In treating the difficulties of his subject the artist
has displayed great skill. Few people understand
how much harder it is to paint a commonplace than
an insphution. But, in the first place, ne doubt the
friends of each particular inventor considered him
entitled to the principal
.place in the picture, and
as Mr. Schussele had but one such place at hit flit
go,:al, nineteen gerdiemen were necessarily slighted.
Again, as theSe faces are all portraits, it was re
quired that each should be fairly displayed. The
artist, therefore, was cut off at. once from the free
ace of light and ehadowelenients of which he
is a.-master-and obliged to bring every face
into the - full view of the spectator. The entire
subject is therefore forez•cl into the foreground.
But how )tell has Mr, Schussele contended
with these difilenlties ! Ile has concealed awk
wardness, reconciled conflicting elementsgiven
pictorial interest to a subject which has
.intrinsi
cally none, and produced a work which is unex
celled by any of its idnd. From it alone it would
be evident that ho is a good ambit, though no one
would know from it that psis great. We:complain,
therefore, not the Schussele has exhibited this
picture, but that he has exhibited nothing else. He
has the, right to paint as many inventors as he
pleases,. but no right to neglect great subjects in
which he eau alone find fitting opportunity for his
power. This we say in the kindest spirit, with no
wish to disparage the value Olds production, or to
misrepresent Ids true positioniin art.
Charles Dickens' New Serial.
On the 30th of April was published in London the
first number of a new serial, by Charles Dickens, en
titled "Our Mutual Friend," which is to be coin-
Octal in twenty monthly numbers, after the fashion
of Pickwick and the majority of Dickens' other tales.
Daring paid 0 : 000 to Mr. Dickens for early sheets
of this work. Messrs. harper, who had announced
its publication in their well-known Magazine, re•
solted to prevent piracy on their property, and pub
lished. the June number of Harperis Magazine on
Friday last, the sixth or May, which is as near a
simultaneous appearance in London and Now York
as could be expected, and which gratifies public cu
riosity with the slightest possible delay. Of the
other contents of the - Magazine wc cannot now pause
to comment, thoni;h we find them pleasant and pro
fitable reading—but a new story by Dickens is all
engrossing.
Of " Our Mutual Friend" four chapters are given
here, viz; 1. On the Look-out. 2. The Man from
Somewhere. 3—blether Man. 4. The 11. Wilfer
Family. The scene opens on the Thames, between
Southwark and London Bridge, and the first cha
racters, described with the author's usual minute
ness of detail, are a father and daughter, the tirA,
evidently a sacuxcis seja, ambling the rudder of a
small boat which the second propels by means of a
paid yf sculls. The mall'S Dame fee Je8541 I exam
and the daughter, evidently Of a bettor order, is
called L rare. In the second chapter, the reader is
dropped Into a dinner-party at the house of Mr. and
Mrs. Veneering, people of small account, it seems,
who hove Made money, and are trying to work their
way up into what is called "good society' , in Lon
don—what money cannot always do, by the way. A
number of characters are introduced into this chap
,tor, among then, Mr. Mortimer Lightwood, an at
torney, and Mr. Eugene Wrayburn, a/ barrister,
neither of whom is overwhelmed with professional
business. This chapter, we grieve to say, is very
badly written—the worst ever published by Dickens,

Pipe Pirate "Alabama:,
To The Editor °Lille Pren
Snt I Knowing how acceptable to your readers is
any intelliacnce of thelereLl bouts and movements
of the - rebel pirate "Alabama," I send you for publi
cation some extracts in re:Crenee to that vessel
taken from the letter of a correspondent who is on
board a merchant-ship, of which her husband is
captain, sailing froin 'New York:
She writes thus : "It is crow nearly eight months
since we arrived at Hong Kong (almost long enough
to enjoy the privileges of a citizenship), and for the
present it would. seem the greatest rashness to at
tempt to leave here, since the Alabama is cruising
around these waters, committing great depreda
tions on tho poor helpless American shipping. The
Wyoming, a Federal man-of-war, is in this port,
and Captain McDougal-says it is impossible for
him to accomplish anything towards her Capture,
fortis looking for a needle In a Itity-s.tack, or a
drop of water in a bucket, and that lie never 03:-
peels to be as near her again as ho was when off
Singapore. She Iris taking in coal off the ishind
of Wrokatoa: when the Wyoming paned itroand
the oilier side of the island in chase of her, and
but twenty miles distant. Was it not a ggravittingl
-"A letter, received by my husband from a friend in
Singapore, tells the!followiag The Alabama came
steaming up here last Tuesday night (February 9)
with her flag flying saucily enough; and just in time
to prevent Fome of our American fillips from going
on to Calemta. She came into .New Harbor and
coaled at the wharf. I went down' alongside, but
would not go on board. She is a. small, pretty ves
sel, of about GOO tons; very long lower masts, and
yards on fore and main, with is battery Much too
heavy fur her. to fight in a sea-way. Small and very
low smoke-stacks, she looks alto , rether, very like
•
one of the British despatch-boats. I do assure you
that the Wyominc..: could. destroy 'hoc is -twenty
minutes if she could but get under the range of her
pivot, to say nothing of her broadside guns. About
twenty of the Alabama's crew 'deserted, and no
doubt nearly all Weald_ go if they could bat get:
away. Armed officers guarded hcr—ibrward, aft,
and amidships—to prevent desertion, whilst twenty.
five of the crew were kept in irons.. .She had one
hundred and eleven men, all told, when .she came
hereso one of the crew told me-and they have not
exercised small arms for more than a month,
fearing to place them in the hands of the crew.
he can steam eleven knots only now, but With her
screw trieed up, can sail much Motor, say. more than
.13 knots. Tlus information is carefully obtained
from petty officers and crew.' Yes, this pirate is
the great bug bear that detains us allhere. She has
recently burned a number or lal•ge 1 only
wish - the - - Wyoming could sink her • what a bless
ing-'it would he to- the'world at'large. It. must
be confessed, - however, that Captain Semmes is
a Smart fellow, if he is a great rascal. There are a
large number: olAynericat» - essels laid up here t at
singapore, and at Calcutta, with good freights offer
ing, but they dare not move. The Coilfederates
have their spies here, who let them know everything
that is going on. But I shall weary you about ships,
and so for something else.'
"The Sthtof, thigymontli (February-) was th.o com
mencement of the Chinese Now Year. They count
their year by moons, sometimes having twelve and
at others thirteen moons in a year. At that time all
business is suspended, even amongst the poorest. It
is a law and custom, that by the Mst day of the new
year everyman shall have his debts paid, and, if not,
he is bambeoed and driven out of the place ; a seem
ingly good custom, which however often loads to evil,
since 01 kiatig.of means are resorted to for the ac
complishment of so Importantan end. An incident
la tc,ly bccurred here, a sad tale, and by no means
an uncommon one in this part of the world. A
Danish vessel, the Chicot," was towed out by a
steamer, but, as it was "too late to sail, that night,
the captain anchored. Before daylight somoUldne.c
pirate junks
.came alongside, and threw on
.board
what are vulgarly termed 'stink pots.' These arc
most destructive, being in baskets. which are tied
to the mast-head of these junks, and are compaSed
of sulphur -and other OliWISiVe mixture, and they
hum inn slow, consuming lire, creating a most dis
gusting odor, which suffocates all on board. The
pirates threw these things on board the Chicot,
then jumped on the vessel, and murdered nearly alt
there first euttiu. off the captain's SIA.M; ana the.
cutting: his throat. A few of the crew escaped in a
boat belonging to the pirates, and spread the alarm,
but it was too late. Government sent down a gunboat
which sunk a number of Chinese boats in the neigh
borhood, but they failed to capture any. The poor
Danish vessel was- almost destroyed by fire, and,
what remained was towed ashore by the gunboat.

RICHMOND, Va., 0. S. A., April 6, Mit
To the Right Hon. Lord Lyons, C. 8., 4-c., H. .11.
Minister to the Governmont of the United &film
My LOUD! I have been instrue ted by the President
to acknowledge the receipt of a despatch from your
lordchip, enclosing a copy of a portion of a. despatch
from Earl Russell, IL B. M.'s Secretary of State Mr
Poreign Affairs, purporting to lien "formal protest
and remonstrance of her Majesty's Government
again 4 the efforts of the authorities of the so-called
Confederate States to build war vessels within her
Majesty's dominions, to be employed against the
Government of the 'United States. _ _ _
- • _ _ .
The President desires me to say to your lordship,
that while he is not unwilling to waive, in existing
circumstances, the transmission of such a document
through other than the, usual and proper channel,
it would be inconsistent' with the dignity of the posi
tion he tills as chief Magistrate of a nation com
prising a population of MVO than twelve millions,
occupying' a territory many times larger than the
United Kingdem, and possessing•re,:imrces unsur
passed by those of any other country on the face of
the globe,. to. allOw the attempt of Earl Russell to
ignore the actual existence of the Confederate
States, and to contumeliously style them so
called," to pass without a protest and a remon
strance. The President, therefore, does protest and
romon2trate against this Ein.lied. insult.; sail he io„
struets me to say, that in future any document in
which it may be repeated will be returned 11139,11•
swered and unnoticed..
- -
respect to the subject of the extract from
Earl - Russell's despatch, the President desires me
to state, that the plea of neutrality which is used
to sustain the sinister course of her Majesty's
present Government against the Government of
the Confederate States is so clearly contradietdd
by their actions that it is regarded by the. world,
not even excepting the United States, as a mere
cover for actual hostility, and the President can
not but feel that this is a Just view of it. Were, in
deed, her Majesty's Government sincere in a desire
and determination to maintain neutrality, the Pre
sident would not but feel that they would neither be
just nor gallant to allow the subjugation of a nation
like the Confederate States by such a barbarous,
despotic race as are now attempting it. He cannot
but We], wjllitlic history and traditions of the Anelo.
Saxon race before him, that under a Government
faithfully representing the people of Great Britain,
the whole weight and. power of that nation would he
unhesitatingly thrOwn into the scale in favor of the
principles or free government on which. these States
were originally formed, and for which alone the
COnfederate States are now struggling. He can
not but feel that with such as Govermnent, and
with the plea of neutrality urged upon the peo
ple, as it now is, . 110 such Pullet spectacle
could be wi inesod it.; is now manifested by her
Majesty's present Government, iu the persistent
persecution or the Confederate States, at the beck
and bidding of onicers of the United States, while a
prime minister mocks and. insults the intelligence
of a House Of COMinonS and of the world by excu
sing the permission to allow British subjects to go
to the - United Sts tes to 'fight against us, by the pal
try subterfuge that it WaS the great demand for
labor and the high rale of wages that were taking
them thither. lie cannot but feel that a neutrality
most eonnlitgly; riudavlausly, fawningly and inso
lently sought nail urged, pegged and demanded by
one belligerent and repudiated by the other, must
be seen, by all impartial men, to be a mere pretext
air aiding the cause of one at the expense of the
Other; while pretending to be impartial, to he, in
short, but a cover for treacherous, malignant hos
tility.
As'for the specious arguments on the subject of
the rams, advanced by Earl Russell, the President
desires me to state that lie IS content to leave the
world and history to pronounce judgment upon this
attempt to heap injury upon insult by declaring that '
her Majesty's Government and law officers are sa
tisfied of the questions involved, while those ques
tions lire still before the highest legal tribunal of
the kingdom, comp - OSM of members of the Govern
